With cybercrime becoming more common than ever and systems prone to suffer from faults, managing your organisation’s IT security is crucial in keeping your data safe. Here are three reasons why IT security is an essential part of IT management.
What Is IT Security?
IT security protects your data and keeps your systems running smoothly. Effective IT security must consider many layers of protection. The more layers of your system you protect, the more effective security will be, lowering the risk of compromised networks or devices. By taking cyber-security seriously, you don’t just minimise the risk to your business, but also keep your promises and responsibilities to your established client base.
Here are three reasons why IT security is an essential part of IT management.
It Protects Confidential Data
Data privacy and protection goes much further than just keeping cybercrime at bay. Insufficient protection of confidential data can damage your business reputation like no other, in addition to incurring substantial financial penalties if GDPR procedures are not followed correctly. Our optimal data security solution offers guaranteed protection against possible data breaches.
It Reduces Downtime
Website and system downtime can bring your business to a standstill. If your business is targeted for a cyber-attack, or your system becomes infected, you may lose money from missed transactions, experience detrimental effects to your business reputation and risk lasting damage to your systems. We ensure that all systems are functioning effectively, improving business continuity.
It Increases Productivity
Viruses, adware and spyware can make operations practically impossible, resulting in wasted time for employees, reduced productivity and lost money for the business. Within the UK, 39% of businesses experience security attacks that divert staff time or cause internal disruption each year. Our security strategies maximise efficiency by preventing costly downtime.
